Question 3 – Scenario continued
On Friday morning
Mrs. Webb received a written request for a personal leave
day from Ryan Ramos. The day requested
was for the following Friday, November 5th. It so happened that this was the
day prior to the opening of deer season, and the superintendent
knew that Ryan was an avid hunter who had a lease some distance away and
who would not miss the opening day of the season.
So that Ryan might clarify the
personal leave day, Mrs. Webb called him in and requested an explanation of the
phrase “professional activity.” Ryan became
very defensive, without offering to explain.
Ryan thundered, “If you don’t give me the leave day, I’ll go to
LULAC!” Before Patricia could
reply, Mr. Ramos slammed the office door and was gone.
